A The Tetrarch look-alike? – Do you agree?

01. Click this site: http://www.freewebs.com/sthlmcup070909/
02. Go to the 37th picture.
03. The name of the horse is HESPESHAL (the lady groom who is holding him is wearing light blue boots).

Do you agree that Hespeshal might look very similar to the late The Tetrarch?

Well, he lacks those big white spots that The Tetrarch had all over...this fellow looks more traditionally dappled. Plus he's an Arabian. :wink:

I once saw a painting of Palestine as a stallion, and he had greyed to about that shade. He was a very elegant animal, as well, so if I were to pick a Thoroughbred that closely resembles Hespeshal, it would be him.

Have to agree with Lucy but I would gladly take the groom for Bomberbad any day of the week! Good Lord that's an attractive horseman!
